    I always use Tesco but noticed yesterday Asda were a few pence cheaper so may top-up there tomorrow.

    Tesco are relaunching their 'Spend £50 in store and get 5p off per litre' offer, that may explain their price increase.

    That has been on for a couple of weeks now so I doubt it. My Asda has put 1p on today as well.

    Diesel 129.9 at Morrisons and Asda.

    Unless I pass them they are too far away (15 miles).

    Local COOP 136.9 (who needs commodity speculators) and independent £1.35.

    The oil price has gone back up nearly $10 in a week. They were slow to put the prices down when the oil price dropped over the past couple of months,, but quick to put them back up again.
